Article body
The Yugoslav Football Association postponed today's match between FK Rad and FK Zvezdara after Rad's squad was decimated by a bout of food poisoning.
Nine down
Nine of Rad's players were taken to a Belgrade hospital complaining of severe stomach pains after a meal at the club's canteen. Several other players also complained of the symptoms but did not require hospitalisation.
Inquiry launched
The match has been postponed until next Wednesday and the Rad board has launched an inquiry into the matter. In the other 1. Liga match scheduled for today, FK Sartid beat OFK Beograd 2-0 to move to within two points of third-placed FK Obilic.
Two for Mirosavljevic
Nenad Mirosavljevic was Sartid's hero, scoring goals in the 41st and 78th minutes, the second from the spot, to cap a fine individual performance.
